Rumors of Costner and Jewell hookup keep gaining steam
As a new magazine profile of Jewell attests, the singer-songwriter continues to keep people guessing — these days about her rumored romance with Kevin Costner, her upcoming “immersive art experience” in Arkansas and the nasty-looking cut on her right index finger, which she displayed in two recent TikTok videos.
In one of those TIkTok videos, Jewell asked her fans to guess what “shenanigans” she has been up to and how she got the cut on her finger, offering a $100 reward for whoever guessed correctly. A couple of fans good-naturedly alluded to reports that she has been dating “Yellowstone” star Costner, with one saying the cut probably was caused by “Kevin Costner eating an apple with his pocket knife on your front porch when you got a little too close!” Another teased, “Kevin Costner wrangled ya!”
The photo shoot was for a large hologram of Jewell that will greet visitors to “The Portal: An Art Experience by Jewel,” opening on May 4 at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas. The 90-minute “experience” also features 10 pieces she's selected from the museum, an outdoor, choreographed 200-piece drone light show and a portrait of her 12-year-old son that she painted herself after taking a twoweek class in Rome. The Elle story appeared to be timed for Jewell's exhibition, but it also caught up with her upcoming coheadlining tours with Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls. And, the story let Jewell address rumors and reports that she's dating Costner, 69.
“He's a great person,” Jewell said, “blushing,” according to Elle. She didn't say anything more about the Oscar-winning movie star and director, other than to add, “the public fascination is intense for sure.” The fascination with her and Costner began late last year when the actor was seen getting “flirty” with her during a celebrity fundraising event in the British Virgin Islands. The sight of Costner and Jewell looking “cozy” at the tennis fundraiser sparked relationship rumors, People reported.
